Substrate Simple Payout Daemon

Automated staking payout tool for substrate-based chains. Can either function in single-run mode (default), or in daemon mode, where it will run at defined periods. Supports list-only mode. A simplified and daemonized version of canontech/staking-payouts.

Installation:

1. Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/helikon-labs/substrate-simple-payout.git.
2. Enter the source code directory cd substrate-simple-payout.
3. Make the .env file by copying the sample config file cp .env.sample .env.
4. Configure the parameters in the .env file.
   1. SUBSTRATE_RPC_URL: Substrate full node RPC URL.
   2. MNEMONIC: Mnemonic of the account that will submit the payout extrinsics.
   3. STASHES: Validator stash addresses for which the payouts will be made.
   4. ERA_DEPTH: Payout search era depth (i.e. a value of 12 means 12 eras prior to the active era will be searched for unclaimed payouts for each entered stash address).
   5. PAYOUT_CHECK_PERIOD_MINS: Payouts will be repeated at this period of time - expected in minutes. Ignored in the single-run mode (default).
5. Run npm install.
6. Run npm start for single-run payout mode, or npm start -- --daemon for the daemon mode (regular checks at defined intervals). Use the --list flag to only list the unclaimed eras for each stash and not make any payouts, e.g. npm start -- --list.
